The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease the February 20 episode provided intriguing glimpses into upcoming plot developments.

Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) spent more time on screen together, revealing that he is undeniably taken with his half-brother’s cousin.

Damian Decided Not To Head Back To LA

He was originally set to return to Los Angeles, but a change of heart led him to remain in Genoa City, all thanks to Lily.

In fact, it was Lily who caught both Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford) off guard with a surprise visit at the end of Thursday’s episode.

Earlier that day, during a conversation at Crimson, he had asked Lily out for dinner, but she firmly stated that she wouldn’t consider it until he made time to see his mother.

Additionally, Lily met Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and seized the moment to tease him and Damian about their antics aimed at Nate. It’s easy to imagine Lily having an eye for both of them, and that they may have an eye for her in return!

Holden Pretended To Be Damian, And It Seemed  Super Shady!

There was a moment when both Nate and soap fans speculated that Holden was actually Damian. Although his intentions were to gather information, it was undeniably a dubious way to infiltrate Genoa City; nevertheless, Holden didn’t shy away when Lily confronted him with that accusation.

He swiftly countered, arguing that his impersonation of Damian was no more questionable than Nate’s clandestine meeting with him under the guise of a job offer, all while harboring ulterior motives.

The exchange among the trio at Crimson hinted at deeper implications. After all, Josh Griffith, the head writer of the CBS soap, has been dropping hints about a compelling “true love” arc for Lily in 2025.

Could Lily Fall For Holden, Making Damian Jealous?

While some fans speculate that Damian might be the romantic interest, could the show surprise everyone by making it Holden instead? Damian exudes an air of confidence, a man who seems to always achieve his desires, especially now that he wields both wealth and influence.

The camaraderie between him and Holden is evident; they might even be business associates or have a complex boss-employee relationship.

Imagine the tension if sparks flew between Lily and Holden, leaving Damian feeling sidelined. It would create a tangled web for Holden, torn between suppressing his feelings for Lily or plunging into a relationship while keeping it a secret from his “friend.”

Damian’s Trust Issues Could Make Things Ugly

Damian’s trust issues are already a significant hurdle, and the situation could spiral out of control. As it stands, Holden appears to be more aligned with Lily’s preferences than Damian; will Nate’s newly discovered half-brother go to great lengths to win Lily over, only to face rejection?

Might he also attempt to thwart a budding romance between Lily and Holden-the potential directions for this plot are endless.

Additionally, there seems to be some unresolved history between Holden and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), though the specifics remain murky.

We know Holden allegedly “rescued” her from a troubling circumstance, Audra is keen to keep their past under wraps, and Holden has some knowledge of Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John).

What Is Holden’s Connection To Tucker?

The big question here is what is, or what was, Holden’s past connection to Tucker-of course it may not be much of a “connection” at all. Could they just be former coworkers, or have past flames in common? Perhaps linked by family ties in some way?

Only time will reveal the truth, but this could also pose a challenge for Lily and Holden’s budding romance.

Spoilers for the upcoming episodes hint that viewers will be kept on the edge of their seats with the unfolding Damian plotline, as more details emerge.
